“This was a last minute booking as my mother in law was seriously ill and we needed some accommodation urgently.”

The lady we spoke to at Sykes could not have been more helpful, understanding or accommodating. A Special thanks to her.

“Came down from Aberdeen & Mintlaw with my Mum & our dogs , for a little break away , beautiful setting very comfortable flat to stay the dogs hit use of their huge garden & lots of fun .”

There is also a tennis court too if you like your sport . The owner was very nice & made sure we had everything & knew how everything worked , always very friendly . So close to Perth , Scone , Dundee , Tillicoultry & Stirling and loads of others too we just never had the time !! The only worry for me was my mum is 75 and still reasonably fit but the stairs up to the flat where for her a wee bit difficult . I’ll defiantly be returning would love to see it in summer . I’d give this a huge rating 10 stars !!!

“Escapism”

A delightful flat within beautiful private grounds. Really enjoyed staying here, the weather definitely made it a memorable stay, as the grounds are absolutely beautiful for walking around in the evening before dinner. The colours were fantastic this year. The flat had all the necessary amenities.

About the location

SCONE

Perth 2 miles; Dunkeld 16 miles; Dundee 19 miles; Stirling 36 miles.

The village of Scone sits two miles north of Perth, and is correctly called New Scone to differentiate it from Old Scone, which had been a medieval village based around the monastery of Scone Abbey and abandoned in the 19th century. The new village was planned by the Earl of Mansfield, whose family seat is Scone Palace, and began being built in 1805. Old Scone had been the historic capital of Scotland in the Middle Ages and was the coronation venue for Scotland’s monarchs, atop the famous Stone of Scone. Scone Palace dates from the early 1800s in the Georgian Gothic style and is a popular visitor attraction open to the public, with rooms and grounds, including a remarkable pineturn. There is a selection of local shops and amenities in Scone, as well as Perth Racecourse, the two 18-hole Murrayshall golf courses, and a wider range of shops are available in nearby Perth. Scone is in the heart of Macbeth Country with his hill fort at nearby Dunsinane and Birnam Wood at Dunkeld. The attractive village of Dunkeld sits to the north, and the wonderful woodland walks at the Hermitage offer a great day out in the country. A wonderful base for exploring the south east of Scotland.
